    Jake's character was in the Marines right? I'm sure he had training with assault weapons, maybe not an AK but I'd much rather have that when it's obvious you're facing a gang that all has them

      because cops don't use assault rifles? yeah, ok. cops may train on the regular with their semi-auto pistols, but they are trained and handle/handled a variety of weapons. be it in training or on the job.

        It's called panic.
        IMDB as of late, sold out and became like City Data and about.com, worthless bureaucrats.

          It didn't bother me but here are some reasons that worked for me:

          1. They didn't trust a gang weapon; in a life or death situation would you rather trust on your own familiar weapon or a strange one that might jam or whatever?
          2. They didn't have any AK ammo, so assuming there's one mag in it, you would spray that thing empty in about 3 seconds
          3. They didn't have the time/mind to consider the reasons above and just wanted to get the heck out of there

            Jamasian_man is right on the money. you learn this in the military as well. leave weapons on the ground that you are not issued. unless ofcourse you are out of ammo and in dire need of firepower. The movie portrays it right.

              I think I would consider being out numbered, out gunned, and on the low ground, a dire need of firepower.

                He was a former Marine, assuming he spent ANY time overseas, he would know how to use an AK.

                  It was mentioned in the beginning of the movie that Brian Taylor (the character played by Jake Gyllenhaal) was a former Marine. This should probably mean that he has at least basic training on the AK

                      Brian Taylor (Jakes character) was a former marine, I'm 100% certain he would have had training with many different AK style weapons.

                        Its too bad he got shot in the hand. You need hands to operate those kinds of weapons.

                          Once loaded you only need "a" hand to operate "those kind of weapons".
                          Besides which, "JohnGaltJunior" has summed it up perfectly, no need for more discussion.

                              Didn't know he was a marine. He sure as HELL didn't perform like one in the gun battle. I have bad vision, but I have shot a glock and it is very easy to aim. They should have hit at least ONBE gang member if they had aimed there weapons properly.

                                the lead character was meant to be a marine. so pretty stupid move there by him.
                                Yeah I found a lot of this film to be stupid, frankly it seems like a feel good cop hero worshipping delusional propaganda.

                                    an AK is not to be messed around with if you have no experience.

                                      Did anyone tell you that Jake was ex-military? Oh yes, about 4 dozen half-wits here repeated it like they were breaking the news. So I guess we're clear on that lol.

                                          I agree with Jamasian. That, and they were probably so preoccupied with getting the heck out of there that they probably didn't even think about it.
